Can't set safari as the default browser

[mcdaddy]

Tried to set safari as the default browser, but chrome continues to stay the default one.

Anyone noticed this?

I recently converted to safari after I installed El Capitan. So I am unsure if it is El Capitan specific issue, or general safari issue.

thanks

How are you trying to set the default browser?

Safari Settings --> General
Then hit Set Default.

I hope there isn't another setting elsewhere.

1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences, then click General.
2. Click the "Default web browser" pop-up menu and choose a web browser, like Safari.

Bingo. That was it. But, very odd to have that setting in two places. No?

1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences, then click General.
2. Click the "Default web browser" pop-up menu and choose a web browser, like Safari.

This pop-up is empty for me; there's nothing to choose (no text).

It was blank in my General tab also, until I clicked the disclosure triangle.
